Looks real enough to me and will be a lot of fun.

Shouldn't have bothered with the re-spray - Land Rovers look better with patina.

Make sure you know the law around driving rights of way before you go green-laning.  Lots to come unstuck on.

to be honest if it was all the same colour to start with i may have left it :undecided:

i think ill be leaning more towards pay and plays than green laning due to such issues..




Front brakes are now fixed however whilst working through bleeding the system the rear bleed nipple thread in the drum slave cylinder broke so now have 2 new ones to fit! hopefully wont be long before it earns its years test.

See if there's a club that does trials anywhere near you.  Cheapest form of motorsport known to mankind and good fun.

Will improve your driving, too.

I think there is 1 or 2 near by that do 'guided' lanes. Got a silverstone 4x4 experience which i may learn something from!

You'll learn far more at a trial.

Find a club near you here:

If you've not done anything like that before I guarantee you will have more fun than green laning and it's a lot more directed than a 'pay and play' day.
